Akron’s dominate performance in rebounding against Marshall Wednesday night led the Zips to an 85-73 win at the Cam Henderson Center.
The Herd was out rebounded 44-28, but the smallest player on the court was the one who led the Zips scoring. Junior Loren Cristian Jackson, who is 5-foot-8, led all scorers with 28 points on 8-16 in field goals and 4-7 from the three-point line.
“We have a lot of work ahead of us,” Marshall Head Coach Dan D’Antoni said. “It was a great crowd, we appreciate them coming and hope they will stay with this young team.
